Six Months Later, Albert Einstein Laboratory,

"Performing the test for experiment '10C'. Ready for the demo simulation!"

Thomas was conducting his own experiment where he tried to invent something towards the electric fields. He wanted to make a new innovation to replace the usage of electricity with his new research which was using the combination of decomposed chemical substances.

Thomas said, "It has been months I made research about electricity and I hope with this finding, I can make a big change to the source."

One of Thomas's aides replied, "…we have used various sources of electricity. I think I agree with you because it is time to change everything. We don't want to keep relying on those sources anymore."

"I'm glad that you're at my side," praised Thomas happily.

He reached the trigger switch as he was waiting for the order from the tester inside the experiment room. After all the equipment have been set up, the testers gave a 'thumb up' signal, indicating that the equipment was ready for the experiment. Then, Thomas began pulling the trigger.

"The Experiment 10C will be execute in 3…..2….1..."SWIFTTT!""

Flashback…

2 months after their official relationship…

Thomas was spending all of his time -24 hours- inside his workshop inventing an unknown device, for, he will be joining the invention competition in the Science Convention in New York in 2 days. He was the main representative of Glade High School for the upcoming competition. So, he had to make sure that his invention was always functioning properly. With that, consideration was the most important factor that caused him 'staying' in the workshop for days, without rest or sleep.

Newt -Thomas's boyfriend- was very concerned with his condition because he knew that he hadn't slept for days. Since he stayed with him two months ago, he's the one who took care of Thomas's whole affairs. He was afraid if Thomas was conflicted with serious pain or injuries. This thing could not go on any longer and he had to make him rest. So, he rushed from the house to the backyard where Thomas's workshop was located.

He opened the sliding door, and was terribly shocked when he saw that Thomas was lying on the floor. Frightened, he cried, "THOMAS!"

He quickly ran close to his boyfriend and reached him, resting his head on his thigh. The first thing Newt saw, was the complete mess: his eyes were swelled in dark black. And worst of all, his beard was much unorganized, knowing that he hadn't bathed for days.

Newt tried to wake him up, "Oh god, Tommy! Are you alright?!"

Thomas slowly opened his eyes, looking at Newt had given him enough to force a weak smile. He weakly responded, "N-Newt, w-why are you... here?"

The blonde shut him off, "For god sake, Tommy! You are pushing yourself beyond your limits. If you're tired, why, bloody hell, don't you take a rest even for half an hour? You're torturing yourself."

Thomas looked at his device which was about 98% complete. He smiled at that thing for a moment and then he smiled back at his beautiful boyfriend. He weakly explained, "I-I want...both of us… to have a better life. I-I can't…give up."

Newt began crying but simultaneously, he blushed. He quickly snapped him off it, "QUIT IT, THOMAS! Don't because of me…you pushed yourself with this stupid device. My….My life has already been better…since we're together. D-Don't T-Tommy….I'm… too afraid to... lose you."

"Newt…" Thomas began to feel a smile on his face as he felt glad when he looked at the tears on Newt's cheeks. He tried to lift his hand, reaching weakly on his cheeks. He wiped it off. He said, "I-I'm…sorry, sweetheart. I-I'm…pushing myself. P-Please, let me do an honor for you."

Newt quickly answered, "R-Rest…t-that's all…"

"O-Okay…" Thomas finally nodded.

…

During the convention, all the famous noble scientists were evaluating each of the participants where they were showing their own invention. They had to attract them so it could be their inspiration to make change towards the world. Until the scientists reached booth 200, for the invention had caught their attentions. It was Thomas's booth.

"Mr. Thomas…can you explain to us what your invention is because… it's attracting us." Explained a scientist.

Thomas gladly explained to them as the smile carving widely on his lips grew. He explained to them as he demonstrated it in front of them. The result was like a magic where the device he invented was incredibly excellent. His invention also caught the other visitors and also other participants. Newt coincidentally was staying near the booth, watching the demonstration with amazement.

Finally, at the result stage, the lead scientist began to announce, "You know, from 500 participants competing in this competition, we have chosen an invention that is really….brilliant and outstanding. We think, this invention can be an inspiration for us to create a better world. I would like to announce that the winner of this competition is…THOMAS EDISON!"

Like a child who won a big prize, he jumped in excitement as his teacher also jumped in victory. They never would've thought that his crazy invention could win the competition. Newt, still standing behind the booth, could just watch him from the crowd. He smiled as he clapped happily.

But…in spite of his victory, Thomas held the trophy as he reached the microphone and began to speak.

"I am so happy today: for this victory that I had. I want to give thousands of thanks to my teacher who is also my mentor- for helping me in inventing this device. My teacher is the one who provided me all the guidance and sources that I need. I won't doubt that."

Everyone listened to his speech.

He continued as he suddenly blushed, "But, inventing this device required such a strong mental and physical contribution. Every time I tried, I always failed because the results were disappointing. But, if you want to know…there is a person who…always supported me at my back. This person is always there at my side whenever I was in need. Without this person, I wouldn't've be able to complete the device… and… because of this person, I was driven towards a strong spirit…to keep myself strong and face the challenge with more strength."

Newt was surprised when he suddenly described someone. He got suspicious and curious, "W-Who bloody could it be?"

"I want this person…to be on this stage with me. This person is…my boyfriend, Newton Isaac. And… he's currently standing at my booth."

Newt got himself more shocked as his body responded hardly as if a big stone hit him. The crowd began applauding him as one of the organizers came closer to him and brought him up on the stage. They both met again…and they both smiled at each other.

Thomas put the trophy on the table and he reached closer to him. He smiled as he said, "Thank you for everything, Newt…and… I love you…"

Newt blushed madly as he became mad at him as at the same time, he wept. He shyly, yet angrily told him, "Y-You idiot, T-Tommy…"

Lovely, the moment was unexpectedly topped when Thomas grabbed him and pulled him up for a deep kiss. Newt was completely shy but suddenly gone because the kiss dominated his whole feelings. He began closing his eyes and felt the kiss. The crowd gave more applause and shouted their names.

After the competition…

"Ready! 1…..2….3!" (SNAP!)

The First Photograph of them both, holding the trophy together.

Flashback End…

….

Central Park, New York.

Thomas was walking inside the park to release his tension for a while after his invention's 'success'. He wanted to take in the fresh air for a while before he went straight back to his home. All of his aides were happy that the invention finally completed. So, it was like a big victory to them.

As he enjoyed walking throughout the park, his pen was suddenly dropped on the ground. Ignoring the sight, he squatted to grab his pen back.

Once he stood back, he looked in front and saw a familiar male standing and staring in front of him. He was very shocked…and speechless. That male was blonde, and...he was bringing luggage with him.

"T-Tommy?" The male stammered.

Thomas fixed his spectacles as he tried to double confirm him. Was it…real? "N-Newt? I-Is that you?"

"THOMAS!" Newt cried, dropping his luggage. He quickly pounced towards him, hugging him tightly. He began crying upon Thomas's chest.

"Newt…you're back…" Thomas wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him tighter as he kissed his hair compassionately.

Newt sobbed, "I…really…missed you…so much!"

"I missed you too, sweetheart. Y-You're back…"

"I have finished my study…now I'm back…to be with you from… now on." Newt looked up at his face with his own tear-streaked face.

Thomas smiled widely as he said, "I'm glad that you're here now, Newt. Don't leave me from now on… ever."

"I promise, Tommy," Finally, they kissed for the first time since the two years they were apart from each other. Love was all the feeling that they needed for each other and…themselves. It's time for them to move on into a better life.

Newt chuckled in tears, "You look handsome when you wear spectacles."

Thomas chuckled back, "I'm glad that you like it, love."

Thomas grabbed his lover's luggage as he held his hand tightly, with their fingers intertwined together. Newt smiled brightly while looking at Thomas's face as he snuggling into his arms. They began walking together, heading back to their real home….where they were used to be.

"There's a lot of things that you need to tell me when we're get home soon, Newtie.." Said Thomas happily.

But Newt didn't hesitate about it otherwise, he felt so excited. He simply replied, "I will, Tommy.."

"Welcome home, love…."

Home is Where the Heart is…
